Nattering Nabobs of Negativism

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report today showing that the life expectancy of Americans has hit a record high; that not one of the fifteen leading causes of death saw an appreciable uptick; and that the infant-mortality rate is down considerably. The CNN headline of an AP article on the good news? "US Life Expectancy Still Trails 30 Countries."

Let's face it - the reason health is so lousy in the US and why life expectancy is 30th is because of all the chemicals and crap the FDA allows people like Monsanto to put in our food. We are being poisoned!!!

Before the invention of these unnamed chemicals, was the life expectancy in the United States higher?

A report could come out that we're all going to live to be 100, look like we're 32, have money, comfort, eat fried chicken and $hite gold bars and the leftists and their lap dog media would still be spouting doom and gloom.

This is a surprise?

There's no power in it for the left when things are going well.

There is a really really obvious reason why we trail countries like Japan and Switzerland in overall life expectancy. Think anyone in the media would dare discuss it?

It is what it is. If people are worried about this maybe the solution is that they should move to Switzerland.
